MIAMI _ Brian Anderson came into Monday's game leading major league rookies or near the top in most hitting categories.
The versatile Marlin added to those totals with three more hits _ a home run and two doubles _ in a 7-5 win against the San Francisco Giants.
Anderson drove in the tying run in the seventh inning with a double and scored on J.T. Realmuto's two-run homer to center field, both off former Marlin Sam Dyson.
Realmuto's seventh homer was a wallop: 412 feet into the shrubbery.
Marlins Park has been an ally of Wei-Yin Chen _ and plenty of other pitchers who tend to serve up fly balls. That was the case again as the lefty had a number of opponent's deep flies die for outs early in the game.
But the spacious confines also cost the Marlins when Lewis Brinson's 420-foot drive to the deepest part of center field hit off the top of the wall, inches from a home run _ it took a replay review to confirm it.
Brinson had to settle for a run-scoring triple, which gave the Marlins a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning. It ended up costing Miami a run as Brinson was stranded on third.
But Brinson got another chance to produce a run in the sixth and he came through with a run-scoring single to left that tied the game at 4.
The earlier near-miss homer loomed large as the Giants regained the lead in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Brandon Crawford. That drove home Andrew McCutchen, who was hit by reliever Drew Rucinski.
The earlier Miami lead quickly vanished the following inning, and so did Chen.
A promising start blew up in a hurry on the Taiwanese lefy in the top of the fifth when he gave up a tying RBI double to McCutchen. Chen then committed a balk with the bases loaded to put the Giants back into the lead.
That ended the night for Chen, after an intentional walk reloaded the bases. Veteran reliever Brad Ziegler came in and promptly served a four-pitch walk for another run, also charged to Chen, who allowed four earned runs in 4 1/3 innings.
Chen came into the game with by far the majors' biggest differential between ERA at home (1.06) and on the road (an abysmal 10.31) at 9.25. The disparity diminished a bit as his home mark increased to 2.53.
A day after it took the Marlins until two outs in the seventh inning to get their first hit, Anderson got their first leading off the fourth when he poked a Madison Bumgarner curveball 412 feet the opposite way into the first row of seats in right-center. Anderson leads all rookies with 77 hits.
